Broccoli and Walnut Salad

Go nuts. A handful can wreck the calorie count of the most Spartan salad, but a few walnuts or pine nuts can give your crisp leaves or lightly steamed vegetables the final touch. Push the flavor by toasting the nuts first and pairing with a matching specialty oil. You can prepare the vegetables ahead and serve the salad cold, or throw it together just before serving while the ingredients are still warm.
